John Chrysostom · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

1 João 3:8

Because the devil was the first to be locked into sin, everyone who now sins acts according to his bidding. For the devil rules in the sinner by a mass of evil thoughts, as in the case of Judas. Someone might say that the devil is present in sinners even before they sin because they have made room for him. The answer to this is that committing sin and making room for the devil amount to one and the same thing—sin. — CATENA

1 João 3:17

When you see someone in need, do not run away, but think to yourself, if that were you, would you want to be treated like that? — CATENA

1 João 3:18

It is not enough to have good intentions. You must also put them into effect with genuine willingness and a happy heart. — CATENA
